Patent GB-190613970-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Aluminium Hydroxide and Aluminates.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-06-18
Granted: 1907-01-17
Abstract: 13,970. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron]. June 18. Aluminates and aluminium hydrate are obtained from aluminiferous materials, for example, bauxite, by means of caustic alkali at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 180-500‹ C. The aluminiferous material is heated to 180-200‹ C. by the direct action of fire and can be stirred by suitable means. The gases from the first vessel pass to a second vessel and heat the lye contained therein, and this lye is from time to time run into the first vessel. The temperature of the first vessel is raised up again to 180‹ C. after each addition of lye, and this is done until the proper quantity of lye has been added to the aluminiferous material, preferably until the ratio of Al2O3 to Na2O or K2O is as 1 is to 1À3 or 1À5. When caustic-potash lye has been added, the vessel is further heated for from a half to one hour at 180-200‹ 'C., whereas with caustic - soda lye the temperature is raised to 350-500‹ C. The melt is lixiviated in the vessel, filtered, and the aluminate lye evaporated. To manufacture aluminium hydroxide from aluminate lye, it is decomposed by previously precipitated aluminium hydroxide. The lye employed can be used over again.

Patent GB-190811911-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Valves.
Inventor: BRACKENBURY HEREWARD IRENIUS
Filed: 1908-06-01
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 11,911. Brackenbury, H. I. June 1. [Cognate Application No. 23,424, A.D. 1908, dated Nov. 3.] Valves and valve-gear.-Relates to engines of the kind described in Specification No. 27,361, A.D. 1907, having a fluid-actuated exhaust valve which is adapted to close whenever the velocity of the piston exceeds a predetermined maximum and to open to exhaust when the pressure falls to a predetermined amount, In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, fluid enters a passage e, flows through passages, where it is heated by the heat generated by the compression of air in the top end of the cylinder, and enters the cylinder between the piston heads a, b. The fluid enters a recess k and passes through a passage i and closes the valve g against the resistance of a plunger-controlled spring l. The fluid which leaks past the piston heads a, b is exhausted from the top end of the cylinder through a port v, but accumulates at the bottom end of the cylinder and forces the piston up, the fluid in the recess k expanding below the piston to complete the upward stroke. Upon a fall of pressure in the expanding fluid, the exhaust valve g is opened by the spring l, and the piston returned by the fluid compressed above the piston. After a certain time, the pressure on the plunger q moves an arm o and lessens the pressure on the spring l, thus allowing the exhaust valve to close at a lower pressure until it remains permanently closed, the exhaust from below the piston taking place through a port w. In the engine shown in Fig. 2, the exhaust valve is provided with differential areas 4, 7 communicating with cylinder ports 6, 8, 9. The ports 8, 9 are provided with adjusting-screws 11, 12. When the piston approaches the upper end of its stroke, the valve is closed by the pressure on the area 4, and the accumulation of pressure in the top cylinder end, acting expansively, forces the piston down. When the pressure on the area 4 falls below that on the area 7, the exhaust valve is opened, and the piston forced upward by the fluid cushioned in the lower end of the cylinder. The stroke and piston velocity increase until the surface 14, towards the end of the downward stroke, closes the lower port 9, opens the upper port 8, and puts the valve in equilibrium. The valve remains closed, and the exhaust passes through port 17. The piston may be provided with differential areas to give the initial upward movement. Undue compression below the piston is prevented by plugs 18 and a port 19 by which a quantity of fluid is exhausted at each stroke.
